Is this substantially different from Regression toward the mean? It seems to be the same thing but with less content.62.129.121.63 (talk) 16:11, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
- You may want to suggest a merger of the two articles. --KSnortum 20:07, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Citation Run Amok
Under "Examples", the following sentence
The pain subsiding a little after it has gotten worse is more easily explained by regression towards the mean
does not need citation. It is a simple and obvious conclusion based on the facts of the article and the example given. I call this the citation ad nauseum fallacy. --KSnortum 20:07, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
